Halloumi, Red Bean + Orange Salad

This recipe has everything you could want in a salad: sweet, salty, tangy, creamy, crunchy - it's a party in the mouth and shows that salads CAN be exciting. This is a lovely fresh salad in it's own right, but if you've got some stale wraps or pittas lying around, tear this in when roasting the halloumi to give it a little more body.

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 200 fan.

2

Tear the halloumi and pitta bread into rough chunks. Tumble onto a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil - season to taste, remembering that halloumi is already salty! Bake for 10 minutes, and halfway through, flip everything, toss in the almonds and bake for a further 5 minutes until everything is golden.

3

Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and mix to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper.

4

Add the red beans, mint, orange slices and salad leaves to a bowl. Pour over the dressing and mix well (you want to avoid tossing the pitta into the dressing incase it goes soggy!).

5

Tip onto a plate or serving platter and scatter over the crispy baked halloumi, pitta chips and almonds.
